02 / what you get

What happens to your data

Kept

  • Standard WMA files from old Windows Media Player libraries are supported
  • Saved as FLAC, which keeps the audio exactly as decoded, in a file usually about half the size of WAV
  • Sample rate, channels and 24-bit depth are kept
  • Title, artist and album tags are carried over

Good to know

  • Copy-protected (DRM) files cannot be converted.
  • Embedded cover art is not carried over. Only the sound is converted.
  • The source is already compressed with quality loss. FLAC keeps it exactly as it is, it does not bring back what was lost, and the file gets much bigger.

WMA vs FLAC

WMA

A WMA file is Microsoft's compressed audio format, built into older Windows Media Player and once common for ripped CDs on Windows PCs. Less common today, but you'll still run into it in older music libraries.

Used in: Older Windows Media Player libraries · Legacy CD rips

FLAC

A FLAC file compresses audio without losing any quality (lossless) — smaller than WAV, but still identical to the original when played back. The go-to format for audiophiles and music archiving.
